Useless

This app does nothing. Don’t bother downloading it. Waste of time and taxpayer dollars.

Never get alerts, the only purpose of this app

I never get alerts about earthquakes in my area even though the sole purpose of this app is to provide an alert system in case of seismic activity. Great idea but a very terribly executed app.

Horrible

We just experienced a 4.2 earthquake and didn’t alert us. Very unhappy w this app.

No alert announced

Had a good jolt shaker at 4:30 am 7-30-2020. What happened to the alert? Nothing!

4.5 Quake last night. Nothing. It's been 18hrs, the map still doesn't show it happened. What's the point?

This App Is TRASH

This app provides no notifications prior to any earthquakes. The information most current quake information doesn’t show in the app until 30 minutes after the seismic event. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, it’s a complete waste and doesn’t work! ????????

Update is critically flawed
Ramming Speed

Download this version only if you want to drain your battery to zero. Best I can tell,this update enables Location Services to CONSTANTLY monitor your location & which is a massive drain on the battery. My 2 month old battery went from 100% to 8 % in 7 overnight hours. Sloppy, lazy, and untested update pushed out to the public. Tough to receive an alert when your phone is a paperweight.

waiting for the big one i hope this app works

Critical App that doesn’t work
GK83FU

I am writing this 1 minute after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake happened. The app not only failed to alert me, but it failed to show the earthquake on its map. This is a really useless app and if the Mayor’s office spent taxpayer dollars on it, it should absolutely work out these issues and make the app do what it’s meant to do.
